In the match between Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club and PVF CAND in the 4th round of the First Division, the highlight of the match was the ugly image with bad behavior from the leaders and coaching staff of PVF CAND Club when there were reactions, insulting the referee team with many uncontrolled words, along with the scuffle that happened in the tunnel when returning to the dressing room between Nguyen Xuan Nam (PVF-CAND) and Vu Van Son (Ho Chi Minh City Youth).

The above incidents seriously violate the tournament regulations of the Vietnamese professional football regulations. In particular, unsportsmanlike behavior and physical abuse of others are always strongly condemned in any tournament in the world and in Vietnam is no exception.
